Dhananjay,
>>So I can't use session for this communication.<<
Is this really a function of someone "logging in"?
Or, is it related to being able to have a cookie on their browser
identifying the Session created when they accessed the site. I think
it would be unique across users.
If you are able to use a Session object, then you can use the APPLICATION_SCOPE for portlets in the same Portal Application (WAR file).
If not, I can see why you are asking.
Does WebSphere provide some InterPortlet communication?
Is it limited by the use of Session?
Are you trying to avoid a Websphere specific solution?
The JSR-168 specification does note InterPortlet Communication under the "Future" heading.
Are the portlets on the page all part of the same Portal Application (war file)?
We to are beginning the adventure known as JSR-168.
And, considering the spec is Release 1.0, it will be an adventure indeed!
Cheers,
Mike
